DAY 1: SPLIT – BRAČ
Welcome aboard! Boarding starts at 5 pm. After meeting the friendly crew and settling into the yacht, you'll set sail toward Brač, the largest island in Dalmatia.
On the western side of the island lies the picturesque fishing village of Milna, known for its safe harbor and beautiful coves, inviting you for a refreshing swim in crystal-clear waters.
Milna’s rich maritime history dates back to the 16th century when it served as a major port for Venetian ships, thanks to its naturally protected bay. The village charms visitors with classic stone houses, narrow cobbled streets, and a waterfront promenade lined with inviting cafés and restaurants. Its historic shipyard, where the first Dalmatian vessel, the bracera, was built, remains a proud symbol of the island’s shipbuilding tradition. The Church of Our Lady of Annunciation, from the 18th century, adorned with priceless Venetian paintings, adds to the town’s historical charm. Milna’s restaurants tempt visitors with fresh seafood, locally produced olive oil, and authentic Dalmatian specialties, served with warm hospitality and scenic harbor views. Scenic trails through pine forests offer breathtaking sea vistas, while the gentle sound of waves and scent of Mediterranean herbs create the perfect setting for relaxation. An overnight stay on Brač provides a delightful taste of authentic island life.

DAY 2: BRAČ – VIS
From Brač, the cruise sets out toward the tranquil island of Vis, one of Dalmatia's most remote and unspoiled destinations.
Vis remained isolated for decades due to its strategic role as a military base during the time of Yugoslavia, which helped preserve its natural beauty and unique authenticity.
Today, former military tunnels and other relics of the past are open to exploration.
The island is dotted with beautiful beaches, lush greenery and crystal-clear waters. Vis is also a diver’s paradise, with sunken ships and planes, ancient Greek ruins and Roman remains.
On the northeastern coast lies Vis Town, where a stroll along the harbor promenade reveals the town’s laid-back charm. A meal at one of the seaside restaurants, complemented by a glass of the island’s indigenous white wine, Vugava, offers a true taste of local tradition.
Local specialties such as Viška pogača and Komiška pogača reflect the island’s culinary heritage.
An overnight stay on Vis offers a peaceful and authentic island experience.

Notable sites include St. Mark’s Cathedral, the Korčula Town Museum, the Bishop’s Treasury, and the Marco Polo Museum. According to local legend, Korčula is believed to be his birthplace.

Pine-shaded coves provide tranquil spots for swimming in crystal-clear turquoise waters.
Korčula’s cultural identity is closely linked to the traditional sword dance Moreška, a centuries-old performance. Tavernas and seaside restaurants serve exquisite seafood and wines from native grapes such as Grk and Pošip.
